LOL - don't "harsh my mellow," you ungroovy buzzkiller

The "best sentence I read today" (as per Marginal Revolution) contained a phrase new to me, "harsh my mellow." Perhaps it was used ironically; I hope so. Worldwidewords discusses the phrase's etymology. Evidently it's said more frequently after 4:20 and on April 20. It's also the name of an airfreshener.

can't get it to display (says more about javascript and flash in blogger than flickr, I think). The gickr animated gif widget works though.

I've used this for a few hours now. It's pretty cool in its restricted-domain search function. By loading the feeds of Library Clips and Cleverclogs, I've got an ultra-curated (gatekeepers rule!) yet widely inclusive set of sources about RSS/OPML. The only problem I have with Lijit is that it is possible/easy to confuse a tag for a page vs subdomain vs domain. Thus, one effect of this is that the search annotation I receive via Lijit about *any* blog hosted by blogspot is a comment that is in actuality specific to only one blog (subdomain); that is, my fellow Lijit-er tagged the entire blogspot domain with an observation relevant only to one particular and topic-specific subdomain. In isolation and as a single example, it's no trouble at all. However, en masse it could be problematic in creating noise rather than signal.
